The store bought stuff is disgusting because of the fat they use. Kosher for passover mustard is imitation. And I've never never managed to make a mayo with out mustard that didn't break. So for the second year in a row I'm thrilled about the aioli.

I absolutely loathe Passover. Every year starting 10 days before all of my discussions with friends focus on how we hate this holiday. The turnover is an absolute bitch. And despite all my lists and organization I'm constantly searching for utensils and kitchen items. And my kitchen wasn't ready until after 4 this afternoon when I really wanted to get started last night. Just kill me. I'm hosting first night. 5 adults, 2 kids. Soup is cooling. Aioli is done (kosher for passover mayo is an abomination). Kid made almond flour brownies. And the orange's for Roden's Gateau L'orange should be beeping momentarily. Brisket needs to be made overnight in crock pot. And chicken needs to prepped.

Champions.

I binged the first 5 episodes of Drops of God, season 2 yesterday. Now I'm eagerly waiting the final episode.

Just finished digging out the car because the kid has hockey practice tonight. I need a spa day.

I made it back from Marlboro, MA to the Upper West Side in 2.5 hours. Managed to beat the snow. And the boy's team is Pee Wee C champions. Great weekend for hockey.

Today's missing objects that no one could find but me were: a hockey glove (it was under a skate) and the navy road jersey. He's shown up at at a game missing a glove and an elbow pad once in 4 years.

The frequency with which my kid tells me he needs my help to find something missing because "he looked REALLY, REALLY hard! All over the place" and then I find it within seconds is out of control. And in the process I often find things that no one has noticed missing - yet. My personal favorite is when I ask if he looked in a specific place, he says yes but it's not there but somehow it miraculously appears as soon as I walk over.

Episode 5 packs an incredible emotional punch. And Six is sweet and tender.

Yes - episode 5. Which is amazing!

But are you coming to the cottage?

We initially were parked on the wrong side of the street which meant that the plows shoved all the snow against the car. I actually needed help from one of the guys who work in my building to dig me out.

Finding street parking is a nightmare. There are still mounds of snow everywhere and you can tell who hasn't moved from their space in 2 weeks.

Boy's hockey team won their League championship morning. So proud of the kids. After a brutal start to the season, they haven't lost a game since November. Now it's tournament time. (and it was warmer in the rink than outside)
